Following recent events involving meself and several other pirates, ye have been awarded the Taichi Award for 2007.

Our now incumbent Mr TaiChi will hand over his crown to you.

As part of your tenure, you will be subjected to several hundred questions and heckling by our resident pirates, which I'm sure you will undoubtedly enjoy.

Congratulations on your award. You have thoroughly earned it matey. Oi would like to begin the proceedings by asking the following:
